My Why:

From my first steps through the doors of Warriors Heart, I knew it was a special place. This always sounds cliche to say but it’s nonetheless true.  There was a humility in the stories shared about their purpose and mission and I wanted nothing more than to be a part of it.  With a background as a Firefighter/Medic and being married to a State Trooper, I deeply understand the need for such a place as this. It’s an honor and privilege to work at Warriors Heart and I look forward to watching the heroes who have sacrificed everything find freedom and hope beyond their battlefield.
